  • Speech and Voice Science
  • Educational Psychology

Background:

  • Teachers are susceptible to voice problems and voice-related absenteeism.
  • Understanding risk factors is essential for developing effective prevention strategies.
  • Previous research has highlighted various potential contributing factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify factors associated with voice problems in teachers.
  • To determine factors linked to voice-related absenteeism among educators.

  • Assessment of conditions potentially leading to voice complaints and absenteeism.

    • Main Results:

    • Physical and psycho-emotional factors emerged as the most significant risk factors for voice problems.
    • Voice load and environmental conditions appeared less critical in developing voice complaints.
    • Teachers reporting voice problems during training were more likely to experience them throughout their careers.

    Conclusions:

    • A multifactorial approach is vital for diagnosing and treating teacher voice problems, emphasizing physical and psycho-emotional aspects.
    • Early identification and management of physical and psycho-emotional factors are crucial for risk reduction.
    • Adequate voice training during teacher preparation programs is essential for long-term vocal health.
